Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire WTF is a Bullet Button

Think I know the answer but has the NRA stepped up?

I feel sorry for you guys that live in the chit hole.

Best thing you can do is give it back to Mexico.

My Remington 788 bolt, in .308 Win, has a detachable magazine that is released with a button. It will be banned.

If this bill passes some companies are going to make lots of money converting existing guns to be belt feed. Here's an example of an AR-15. It just needs a couple of screws added to prevent an easy conversion back to magazine feed. What will be interesting to see will be a belt fed bolt action rifle.

I do not read it to apply to non-semiautomatic rifles, do you?

This is incorrect. SB 249 only covers semiautomatic firearms already regulated as assault weapons. Bolt actions, semiautomatics such as the Ruger Mini Thirty and 14 are not covered.

(1) For the purposes of this section, �detachable magazine� means any ammunition feeding device that can be readily removed from the firearm without disassembly of the firearm action. �Detachable magazine� includes a magazine that may be detached from the firearm by merely depressing a button on the firearm either with the finger or by use of a tool or a bullet.

Belt fed is illegal in California if the belt contains more than 10 cartridges. Then it would be considered a high capacity magazine. Using a high capacity magazine on a bullet buttoned rifle, or a rifle with a hand grip or any other "evil feature" makes it an assault weapon and a felony. You may not have two (or more) evil features on a semiautomatic rifle, if you have an AR-15 derivative the pistol grip is one, a high capacity magazine is another, a detachable magazine is one, a flash hider, grenade launcher, forward pistol grip, collapsing stock are the others. The bullet button has been adjudged to render the magazine non-detachable because it requires a tool to remove the magazine. Colt sells California compliant models with the bullet button installed and a 9 round magazine (in case there is a round in the chamber the total capacity of the rifle is 10 rounds or less).

Guys, read this section again and tell me where it distinguishes between semi-auto and bolt...
